It looks like Winter is about to show its claws, and the evenings will be dark from Sunday onwards.
Some Big Warming Wines from my recent stock-ups at Aldi, Tesco and the STWC :
It's back, it's just as good as the previous vintages - a cheap as chips Zin with all the trademark dark, fruity flavour. Drink with cheese and biscuits :

It's dirt cheap - but it's amazing quality for the price - generic vino d'italia, but in a primitivo style. Just a hint of sweetness, but none the worse for that - lovely with fish & chips :

Quite an extraordinary wine - almost full on sweet red - I ought to hate it, but would cheerfully glug any amount you put before me - excellent with a big bag of Kettle Chips :

Probably the best red for its price today - wonderfully rich and very complex aftertastes - an absolutely stunning Portuguese Shiraz. Oak, vanilla and liquorice flavours - but subtle as well as strong. The best wine for your Roast Dinner - I've laid in a few for Christmas Dinners :

Daft name - great wine - Malbec blend from Argentina - big, big wine - buckets of spicy fruity taste - have a bottle with your next Doner Kebab ...
